Refreshing Lemon Water with Fresh Mint that is easy to throw together for the perfect detox and more enjoyable way to drink water!
So I must say after an amazing few days of celebrating my birthday all week and indulging in some serious cake and chocolate goodies, my body needed a bit of a cleanse. And there is no better way to cleanse the body than with some water infused with freshly squeezed lemons and sprigs of mint. One of the major benefits in drinking lemon water is that it aids in weight loss and gives your body natural electrolytes. It’s a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants which helps to maintain your body’s energy while on a diet plan or when working out.
Not only is lemon water a great tool in weight loss, but it just so happens to be amazing for your skin as well! It really gives your skin a nice glow by rejuvenating it from within and can also act as an anti-aging remedy. Doesn’t get much better than that, eh?
Infuse your water with a few sprigs of mint as well to give it a cool fresh taste with some additional sweetness. I can pretty much guarantee you’ll get rid of any headache too!
When it comes to lemons, a good rule of thumb that my mother always taught me is the heavier the lemon the better. So next time you’re at the grocery store or your local farmer’s market and you come across some fresh lemons, hold them in your hand and see which ones weigh the most. You want to get the most vitamins and minerals out of your lemons as you can!
And c’mon, doesn’t this pitcher just look so pretty??
This is the perfect way to dress up boring old water and make it fancy anytime you have friends over or throw any type of party. It’s healthy, refreshing and super festive! Feel free to infuse this with other fruits as well. Kiwis, limes and berries are all fabulous choices!

Can i drink this infused water early morning in an empty stomach????someone tell me…
Hi,
I have always wanted to try these kinds of detox drinks, but I currently have the worst case of GERD and was advised not to eat any citrus fruit as it may trigger acid reflux. Is there anything that you can recommend that I can use as a substitute for lemon? Thanks!
Just started this lemonade today. This is delicious! Just one question do I need to eat the mint, graded ginger mixed in the water? Cause at the bottom of my glass I have ginger and and mint leaves…
No you don’t, the mint and ginger just infuses in with the water and gives off a great taste 🙂
Try lemon water and mint sprigs dip in super hot water for 30 mins and drink at night after dinner. Double the benefits. 👍👍
Did you know that studies show that drinking spearmint tea or water infused with mint have properties to alter/lower androgen levels in women, when consumed over a period of time ? What does this mean? It has been proven to help women reduce facial hair, for those who struggle with it, whether it’s the common fuzz all women try to maintain and for those women especially from the Middle East, Europe or Asia. So yes, the lemon is detoxing! And besides the coolness of the mint, literally, it’s “double the pleasure”. Pun intended 🙂
I saw on Facebook where you mix water lemon mints and cucumber it was 3 quarts of water half cucumber sliced and ten leaves of mint to lose belly fat how much do you drink each water is all I drink thank you Vickie
Hi… great pictures..! I will definitely try your drink.
I have a similar recipe, adding some fresh ginger to it.
Another variation is, just use lemon juice, water, cucumbers, mint leaves, and some ginger… blend it until your green super healthy drink is ready… you drink it first thing in the morning.
Your blog is adorable! I am writing my own post about the benefits of fruit infused water and I loved your post! 🙂
How many days can you refill water to the lemon mint cucumber drink? When do we replace the lemon mint and cucumber?
Awesoome 🙂 !!
